.service('$cordovaScreenshot', ['$q', function($q) {
    return {
        capture: function(filename, extension, quality) {
        filename = filename || 'pic';
            extension = extension || 'jpg';
            quality = quality || '100';

            var defer = $q.defer();

            navigator.screenshot.save(function(error, res) {
                if (error) {
                    console.error(error);
                    defer.reject(error);
                } else {
                    console.log('screenshot saved in: ', res.filePath);
                    defer.resolve(res.filePath);
                }
            }, extension, quality, filename);

            return defer.promise;
        }
    };
